Oh my God they killed Tsukasa


Just a short newspost for today, since it’s something I heard of off the AnimeSuki forums and haven’t seen much news about recently (maybe since it’s originally two months old, anyway, but right now is prime time for Lucky Star).

Short story shorter, the Lucky Star bandwagon marches on as the manga and quite popular anime marches on to conquest it’s next media form…books. The Lucky Star light novel, “Lucky☆Star Satsujin Jiken” (Lucky Star Murder Case) is due to be released on September 1st.

Certainly it seems like odd material for the lighthearted slice-of-life show but this probably means we’ll either get a parody or another Remote Island Syndrome setup. It’s certainly an interesting and altogether different premise and I look forward to seeing how the Lucky Star characters fare in a more…drawn-out storyline.

And in case you haven’t put together the pieces from the title and the text, take a closer look at the snapshots in the cover art. Yeah. Might be Yutaka on the right too. Man, they kill off all the innocent naive characters? Those are the funniest.

Still, I look forward to seeing just how the false murder mystery plot is going to get pulled off – not to mention who’s behind it (Miyuki. You know it.). I say false perhaps out of knowledge of the tone for the series – and for the fact that if it’s not, I’ll be the first with a pitchfork.

Think you’re an Ayu fan?

(Breaking Not more Haruhi News: The Haruhi game’s headed to PS2 as well, with a Wii version rumored as well. So if you don’t have a PSP, rejoice somewhat! Speaking as one who’s already import-ready with Melty Blood, yays!)

Well, get a load of this; the Kanon artbook thingy was released recently, and guess what they had as an extra: a CD full of uguu~

No, not like, music and uguu~, or like, nyuu~ and uguu~. Just 10 straight minutes of uguu~. Ten minutes! Incidentally, there are 86 variations of uguu~ on the CD.

Even if you can’t stand Ayu, it’s still worth a listen just because it’s so hilarious, to me, the thought of releasing a ’soundtrack’, as it is, of straight uguu~ness. Well done, well done. Here’s the link.

Loop it. I dare you.

Also, while searching the web for suitable Ayuguu~ pictures, here’s an interesting comparo I dug up…

And you always wondered what Mikuru’s real identity was…

Haruhi: The Game


(Generic Yuki-relevant pic)

So, Haruhi’s got a video game now.

I could rant to fill up this section, but no one reads that, eh? I’m just sectioning off some vague spoilers for the two of you who have not watched Haruhi Suzumiya yet. If not, feel free to continue.
